1985 is my favorite year for the 80's as the proof/tests were so plentiful.
The 85' Mini's were available in so many versions (complete, blank white, blank tan, red back). However, much like the 1988 Topps Cloth, I do consider them more of an individual test set (the blank backs would be proofs of the Mini in definition for thought). I think an argument could go both ways.
For what I would consider a true proof, I think the often overlooked issues are the "Acme varnished" and "Fuch varnished" blue backs that were brought to auction in 2017. I would have to to some digging to find my examples.
